IDF Looks to Close Israel-Egypt Border to Terrorists
(Ynet News) Ronny Sofer - There have been repeated intelligence warnings regarding Palestinian terror groups' plans to take advantage of the recent opening of the Rafah crossing and the breached Egyptian border to transfer terror cells from Gaza into Sinai, and from there to Israeli population centers in the Negev region. During last Sunday's cabinet meeting, security officials spoke of attempts by Gaza suicide bombers to leave Gaza through the Rafah crossing and then infiltrate into Israel. The prime minister is expected to instruct the security establishment on Tuesday to seal the border with Egypt.
